    Have you looked into recumbent bikes? A lot of people around here use them and they seem wonderful. Really relaxed posture with a comfortable chair-seat, hand or foot controls, motors that take them to 32kmh with a throttle. That or an e-trike are my plan if my health fails me.

      It’s a great idea honestly.

      I’m happy with my long old man walks, but love the idea of being able to do more without a car!

        I love walking too but it sucks with groceries. Unfortunately I don’t know them well enough to point you toward a specific model, but a local bike shop should be able to get you something that’d negate that back pain at least as well as a car seat does if not better. I love seeing mobility-limited people zip past me on the trail.
